THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II

Message from The Queen



PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH

Tuesday Afternoon: The Duke of Edinburgh is "feeling better" after being treated for a bladder infection, his youngest son Prince Edward has said.

The Earl of Wessex was speaking after visiting his father, who was admitted to hospital on Sunday.

And the Countess of Wessex said he was "in good spirits, he's on good form".

Thanks be to God!


On this day of jubilation we give thanks to Almighty God for our glorious Sovereign.


THE GENERAL THANKSGIVING

Almighty God, Father of all mercies,
we thine unworthy servants
do give thee most humble and hearty thanks
for all thy goodness and loving-kindness
to us and to all men.
We bless thee for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for thine inestimable love
in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.
And, we beseech thee,
give us that due sense of all thy mercies,
that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful;
and that we show forth thy praise,
not only with our lips, but in our lives,
by giving up our selves to thy service,
and by walking before thee
in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit,
be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.


THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen.




GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS QUEEN!
